Shui Ling nodded, summoned Jin Zi, Shui Zheran rode the bionic horse, and the two went straight to the salt water lake.

When they arrived at the lake, Shui Zheran set up distilled water equipment on the platform above.

"In this way, we have salt and water, but we can't satisfy the needs of so many people."

Shui Ling looked at the distilled water equipment and couldn't laugh or cry, "Dad, this won't work. There are not just two people in our village. Besides, isn't there a well?"

Shui Zheran looked sideways: "Didn't you notice that the well water was much less?"

"The well water is running low?" Shui Ling really didn't know, "Then the underground river will dry up."

Shui Zheran sighed, "I don't know what to do now. Many people have already fled."

Shui Ling frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "Where can they go? If they guard the well, they won't die of thirst. If they leave, they will leave their homeland."

"Let me go and see the source of the river. I remember there was a waterfall there with a lot of water when I went there before."

Shui Zheran nodded, "Go ahead and be careful."

"Yeah." Shui Ling went to the cave. There was no water in the cave. She came to the canyon from the small cave entrance. There was still some water in it, but the water level was low, so it did not flow into the river from the cave entrance.

She took out a detector pen and took a look. The water was two meters deep, and the area was enough for the villagers to drink for two months.

Only the waterfall above was missing. Shui Ling put on his diving suit, went to the bottom of the waterfall, and climbed up with bare hands.

After I came out, I looked at the map. This is below the freshwater lake. Originally, there was a breach in the freshwater lake, and a large amount of freshwater flowed out. Now it is estimated that the water level in the lake is no longer enough to flow out of the breach.

You can't blow up the lake to quench your thirst. Otherwise, once the rainy season arrives, the water volume that the lake cannot carry will flood all the villages below.

Shui Ling returned to the salt water lake and sat beside Shui Zheran in a daze.

Shui Zheran asked: "What's wrong? Is the water inside all dry?"

Shuiling replied: "There are still some. It is no problem to supply the villagers for a month. In fact, there is a well. Everyone can get through the difficulties by saving some money. Why run away?"

Shui Zheran laughed, "You don't know this yet? Those people can't bear the hardship and want to go somewhere else to join their relatives."

"Uh... Didn't you leave because you couldn't survive anymore?" Shui Ling didn't expect this to be the reason.

Shui Zheran smiled and said: "Of course not. No matter how hard it is, ordinary people don't like to escape. Unless it is a hard disaster that makes them unable to survive and floods the village, they will not leave."

"Hmm... But this thing of yours is of no use, so you might as well take it back and make a bar." Shui Ling struck again.

Shui Zheran, "..." is not cute at all.

Shui Ling stared into the lake and asked, "We made a lot of money, right?"

"Well, there are quite a few. They are all piled up in the warehouse. It is probably enough to build a house." Shui Zheran sighed, making money? That is not a problem.

"Our fabrics are of the right color and don't fade. We have already entered the capital. We are making a lot of money from rouge and gouache. We also make a lot of wine. Although we have to bear other people's names, we make a lot of money."

After a pause, he continued: "There are still many things that can be sold, but they are all saved now."

Shui Ling knew how he felt, and he felt aggrieved now that he was guarding a mountain of gold and silver and then couldn't spend it.

Shui Zheran put out the charcoal fire and said, "Go home."

"Yeah." The father and daughter returned home.

Su Qin looked very happy as he took the baby and twirled chickens and chased ducks. The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled.

Having more money doesn't necessarily make people happy, and having less money doesn't necessarily make people unhappy. Being happy and healthy is better than anything else.

The family made a fuss for a while, and after dinner they went about their own business.

Shuiling has developed two-season seeds suitable for this era, and would have been put into production if it had not been for drought.

Compared with grains, fruits and vegetables are the most profitable. They are popular not because they are out of season, but because of their taste.

Especially the small emerald watermelon, which weighs two kilograms and can be sold for two taels of silver.

Four fist-sized melons cost one tael of silver, and demand exceeds supply in the capital.

Therefore, Wei Chenglin was also the one who made a lot of money, but he was still the big boss. The only thing that made him uncomfortable was that he had a cellar full of money and no place to spend it.

Shui Ling was bored and chatted with Si Shanguan, "When will I pay back the gold, silver and jewelry you owe me?"

"Ahem... aren't you collecting it? If it's not enough for one box, isn't that a waste of your spirit stones? By the way, have you found the spirit stones?" Si Shanguan replied.

Shui Ling chuckled, "Don't be ridiculous, you didn't say you would collect the spiritual stone when you gave me that magic weapon last time, you just didn't want to give it to me."

She opened the map, and there were several bright spots on the map. These were all treasure locations found by treasure-hunting ferrets, but there were strange things in those places, so they couldn't be dug out at all.

Si Shanguan muttered: "We left a lot of treasures when we left your place, why can't you find any of them? By the way, how is the drought there?"

"It's not bad, a lot of people have fled." Shui Ling replied.

"Oh, I did a fortune-telling and found that there is a bad star over there." Si Shanguan said.

Shui Ling was startled, "Evil star? Can getting rid of the evil star stop the drought?"

"Go, go, go...what are you talking about? You have an evil star there, which just restrains the drought of the drought demon, but there will definitely be heavy snow in winter, so be careful." Si Shanguan reminded.

Shui Ling, "..." evil star? Gong Qianyu? Or that bad old man?

Forget it, now that there is an end date for the drought, there is no need to be afraid. If everyone saves a little, we can get through this difficult year.

Shui Ling left the space irritably, rolled around on the bed, and fell asleep.

But this night was not peaceful. Gong Qianyu sneaked into Su Nianshui's bamboo house. Before he could get close to the main entrance, a sharp arrow shot out of the bamboo house.

Gong Qianyu caught it with his bare hands and said with a smile: "Is this how you greet an old friend?"

Su Nianshui in the room snorted coldly, and soon the oil lamp was lit in the room, and the light was big enough for the two of them to see each other clearly.

Gong Qianyu pushed the door open and went in. He looked around and saw that the layout of the room was simple and there was no trace of female decoration. He felt at ease.

Su Nianshui asked coldly: "What do you want from me?"

Gong Qianyu sat on the bamboo stool with a carefree attitude, "Of course something happened. It's been almost four years since you've been here. Don't you want to know what happened to your mother's clan?"

"Humph, I don't remember." Su Nianshui looked impatient.

Gong Qianyu ignored him and continued: "The Su family is very bad. After the imperial concubine lost her only son, she was suppressed by the queen. The family business is also in dire straits."

"By the way, your grassland country has experienced severe droughts and floods. Now the people are in dire straits. Several princes are vying for the throne, and their heads are bleeding."

"The old emperor was so angry that he vomited blood a while ago. If someone brought the magic medicine to revive the old emperor, do you think the old emperor would reward him with all the country?"

"How could he be so angry that he vomited blood when he was only fifty?" Su Nianshui blurted out.
